Yeah, I’m somewhere in that window, and those thoughts are definitely emerging (I’m at 35 and SO is 33). This is blowing my mind, because I’ve been standing fast by the idea to not rush, to not force, to not push reality. But something is softening, not just in me but also in the SO.

I do appreciate you sharing the idea. It takes maturity to stop thinking only about your own terms, your own wants, your own needs. To take responsibility in one sense but to also accept your limitations. That bigger thing can be God.

Thank you for your kind words. The big question that is turning in my mind is if this is the only one path. Obviously, folks without kids don’t feel the urge to go around pushing others not to have them. And folks with kids love their children, so it’s not like they’re not going to want to share how profound it is for them. I used to perceive growing your family as this tedious chore, but I’m also starting to see how it can also be a wonderful gift.

It’s a big dilemma regardless. I just would not be sure whether to make the choice for my brood to live in a bunker commune surrounded by weapons, or whether to insert them into a world of skyscraper elite back-stabbing palace intrigue. On one hand I could ensure my blood mixes with that of our other apex predator families. But on another I could throw them into a doctrine of pain and suffering that grinds them into strength and perseverance. Decisions!
Protection money / payment for defending them during Russian larger scale invasion of Europe?

Just because the US can take it off them if they really want? What would Denmark do about it realistically?

Why would he need a legal basis? It's clear he says stuff and then later we'll see.
I've found looking at commit counts is never very good for judging project activity, at least if they don't squash-merge all pulls. For example there can be pages of one liners

https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commits/trunk/?after=c8...

One pull as opposed to zero indeed may break the inactive barrier but probably good not to read too much into commit counts graphs.

What I mean by luck is that I don't think that Bezos (or the rest of us) had any special qualifications or experiences that meant that we were the only ones who could have made amzn work. He was lucky in that his situation at D.E. Shaw allowed him to do the market research that led him to the book store concept (notably after Shaw rejected it). He wasn't smarter than the rest of us. Had Shaw not asked him to research possible online opportunities, he may never have come up with the concept at all. And it wasn't Shaw either, given that he turned down most of the ideas Bezos presented, most of which went on to become pretty huge.

Euroskeptics used to say that the EU is Germany-first and France/Benelux second and everyone else last. The EU establishment used to deny this. To actually now go out and create an inner union is to validate exactly the euroskeptic claim.
These labels and attacks that you see rampant in this HN discussion are a type of response that is common among dedicated leftists (even in past history like China’s cultural revolution). And HN has a lot of left leaning users since they are often in the Bay Area. What’s behind this response is tendency to not tolerate anyone dissenting from their ideological positions even a little bit, and so they respond with whatever attack they can make - including labels or accusations or fake outrage.
The Bible is a very tricky thing to recall word for work because of differences between canons and translations. Different wording might be taken from a different translation than the one asked for, rather than being wrong.
I was in a discussion with someone and the instance just booted me out. No explanation. No appeal. I still had a handful of windows open to various conversations (I’m a slob) and could not find a single reason.

I shopped around for another home and found fussy rules. I got rejected for reasons that made no sense.

It encourages narrow minded balkanization and it retains your identity so you have to form a new one.
I've also noticed this. Seems rare to find successful frameworks that were actually built out as a framework from the start.
Depending on how powerful your model is, a few tokens per second per data center would still be extraordinarily valuable. It's not out of the realm of possibility that a next generation super intelligence could be trained with a couple hundred lines of pytorch. If that's the case, a couple tokens per second per data center is a steal.
I want a hardware mic switch. We are an iHouse with one exception and that's a SheildTV that is currently out of order because I want to reset it and haven't found time in, oh..., weeks. Anyway, out of the blue one of the kids asked about Turkish delights and wonders where the name came from. SO and I facepalm then explain. Not an hour later she gets something in her Facebook feed: 15 interesting facts about Turkey.

This is just too much of a coincidence. I know, I know, this "... isn't Apple's fault" blah blah. Bullshit it's not. They can't have it both ways where they say their app store process is great and then they allow this shit.
This is very cool sir. I'm also learning Koine Greek and I'm looking forward to trying this out.
The nature of being a transport hub means that there is only one in a given region.
The detail I remember is how they identified the dead.

They would find the person's phone. Pop the SIM card into another phone. Call people on the contacts until they found someone who recognized the number. Ask the name, record it and ask if that person can notify the next of kin of another tsunami victim.

Then they'd move on to the next body and look for another phone.
> Few of us want to be making manual HTTP calls out to APIs anymore. These days a great SDK, not a great API, is a hallmark, and maybe even a necessity, of a world class development experience.

I'm of the opposite mind. A simple API that I can just call with Fetch is far better than having to learn most SDKs. Stripe's Node.js SDK is fairly clean/without headaches, but I look at stuff like the AWS JS SDK and want to gouge my eyes out.

At least with an HTTP API, there's some modicum of standardization. SDKs are and will always be the wild west. The only exception with this that I see frequently is authentication. Some are simple Authorization headers w/ a Bearer <Token>, others (like PayPal the last time I implemented it) require an undocumented base64 encoding of the token.

Given the highly escalating price of medical care, it's astounding that a provider that isn't required by federal law to provide no-cost indigent care can go bankrupt.

[1] makes it sound like they were assuming a never-ending stream of venture funding and didn't make a sustainable business. It'd be interesting to see where the money went.

You have to understand that the situation originated in 1953, when the elected prime minister of Iran was removed from office by the CIA after an attempt to nationalize assets owned by British Petroleum.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d'%C3%A9ta...

This resulted in the Shah of Iran becoming more powerful, but was overthrown in 1978, when the hostages were taken.

I speak as someone who has started both political party here (the Icelandic Pirate party) and participated in IMMI (International Modern Media Institute).

Please don't buy into the hype, we have turned over the Silk road servers to the USA despite not having a MLAAT with them and took down Khilafah.is on technicality when it suited us.

We also blocked the pirate bay after our version of MPAA / RIAA complained.

This is perfectly true, but as you say a small effect. Even in countries like Cyprus and Israel where nearly every home has a solar water heater and the climate is very conductive it saves something like 1-3% of electricity consumption I recall?

I meant it's not a solution in the class of solar panels, where the electricity can be used for nearly anything. Also heater tech isn't very high tech and didn't need much gov support in developing it. Mandating it in law where climate allows may have been useful though.
There are over 5,000 manuscripts of the New Testament that overlap with more than 90% consistency. This makes it one of the most well-preserved and reliably transmitted ancient texts in history.
Hence why I marked those cases with warnings, indicating they were accurate if you give leniency for different translations.
Exponential gains from AGI requires recursive self improvement and the compute headroom to realize them. It's unclear if current LLM architectures make either of those possible.
That's fair. I did run into that issue when trying to speed up Hunyuan
I don't think it's necessarily about the parameter count, but the amount of training material about the Bible relative to the rest of the training material, with higher parameter models able to retain more Bible information with a higher proportion of training on other topics.
A few small issues:

- They call generate_ulid(now()). This returns the transaction timestamp, so all the timestamps will be the same. They should be using clock_timestamp().

- It also appears the generate_uuid() function they're using (which is not explained) is implemented with PL/PGSQL and is quite slow. There is a native C extension called pg-ulid [1] which is much faster; about 15% faster than Postgres' gen_random_uuid().

- Using EXPLAIN ANALYZE to benchmark stuff is a bad idea in generally. It will not give realistic timings, and it has a lot of overhead. EXPLAIN ANALYZE is intended to debug a query plan, not benchmark it.

Instead of using EXPLAIN, you can use COPY:

COPY (SELECT ...) TO '/dev/null' (FORMAT BINARY);

This has the advantage that it is more realistic, since the server has to actually serialize the results, so you get an approximation of that overhead. If you're using psql, you can enable timings and use \copy:

\timing on
\copy (SELECT ...) TO '/dev/null' (FORMAT BINARY);

This will transfer the data from the server to psql, so it will include network time, which makes the benchmark more realistic.

Capsules are more expensive and can’t be easily split by patients so pills are generally preferred by manufacturers. Reasons to use capsules:

- they protect the medicine better from light and moisture and oxygen than tablets
- powder in capsules dissolves faster, more evenly and thus the dose can be frontloaded instead of spread out
- beads in capsules can be coated to control dosage rates or deliver one medication before another. I.e. if the active drug irritates the stomach a coating can counteract that or keep it from dissolving until it reaches the intestines. Extended release medications usually use these coatings to slow down absorption
- capsules can carry multiple physically separated chemicals that are too reactive to be allowed to touch
- the binders in the pill interfere with the medication
- capsules can mask the taste better
> From looking at the man page, it look like epoll does not return the file descriptor of the event; it returns a union containing user-defined data, although one of the union's fields is called "fd" because it is presumably intended to be used as the file descriptor.

Yes -- so how do you unregister an event after you close the file, or dup the file descriptor? You have no way to do that, you just keep getting events for a resource you no longer have open, so long as the parent or child still has it open!

It's incredible that you can set things up in a way that you get events on a resource you can no longer refer to in any way.
Have you considered that the other person may be correct? That’s probably what the interviewer is doing. For example in your made up example, maybe the data would correctly show crime was worse in the 80s, or maybe the data is wrong even if it says that. After all, when crimes are not addressed people stop reporting them - as one way data could be wrong. So maybe crime is worse than the 80s in some ways and it’s worth letting the guest continue with their perspective.

Even if exaggerated though, I also find the overreaction to exaggeration to be unnecessary. I’m sure there are exaggerations you let slide when they aren’t important to you or when they’re aligned to your views.
I’ll be generous and assume you meant that he is finally at peace after enduring a long hospice and bearing the burden of having to live his final years without his beloved wife Rosalynn.

Carter, God bless him, was proof leadership is more than a title. He's proof you can have a positive impact on the world and not be a politician.

Carter sussed out a blueprint for future post-office presidents, but few have heard Jimmy's trumpets. For example, Obama. Obama could be doing great things, but he's too busy riding jet skis and schmoozing celebs, etc.

Carter's time in office might be questionable, but as a human he is legend; with an exceptional legacy.

Workers and unions would be worse off, though
I think my great-grandfather fits the type. He was an X-ray technician, starting in the 19-teens - learned the trade, in fact, from a man who'd studied with Roentgen. This is in the age when one had to make one's own vacuum tubes, and get really deeply into electronic theory and practice to make it work, and every setup was, to some extent, bespoke.

X-ray led him into amateur photography - he'd take off-cuts from the large-format films home and wind his own cartridges in the darkroom he built in his basement. My dad inherited his pre-war Leica camera, and I have a few of his (very good) prints on my walls.

The electronics led him into amateur radio. In the 1920s the airwaves were so clear that with a 1w set he was able, from San Francisco, to contact fellow hams in Germany and New Zealand; my grandfather rembered several of them coming to visit.

He was, I suspect, from stories about his extreme social awkwardness, somewhere on the spectrum. Definitely a geek.
Thanks, yes, never got around to reading it.
For a handful of sites financial, dns registrar I use my static IP address as part of the account restriction. People can bang away at passwords, SIM-jack my phone and get nothing. It's not for everyone and I am apparently one of the few that only browse the web from a Linux workstation these days based on feedback but I have managed to get a handful of companies to support IP restrictions. They hate doing it because many people apparently don't know the difference between a paid dedicated static IP and an IP that has not changed in a year so they get locked out and it becomes a customer support PITA. It will always be my preference. Nearly all banks have the capability but the bigger banks hide it from the bankers in their UI and it requires opening a ticket with their operations staff. Many B2B SaaS providers also have and despise this option.

As heavily targeted as Valve account are I think they would have far fewer account take-overs if more people had static IP's and they supported having say 3 or 5 permitted IP's, or at very least permitted CIDR blocks or AS numbers. The over-provisioned ISP's that use CG-NAT would have to use CIDR or AS number for example. This would require a fall-back method should the ISP reassign AS numbers as unlikely as this would be. Not perfect but perfect is the enemy of good.

I only suggest this because I do not want yet another RSA dongle or phone app. I plan to launch my "smart" phone from a clay pigeon launcher and get a tiny dumb phone should I find one that supports VoWifi SIP and yet is truly a real dumb phone and not a mini phone running some ancient unsupported Android. I know several people that do not even have a phone. That is my long term goal.

I guess the point I am trying to make, is that paradoxically the more an AI company's products are integrated into the economy, the less value they can extract from the economy. As a large amount of the world's economic output is just dealing with the human factor.
I like the middle ground where I generate the models from OpenAPI but stick to my preferred HTTP library of choice in the language I’m using.
I would be interested to hear your thoughts on what a parameter in an LLM model represents.

Why is this generic news article on hacker news.
The guidelines clearly states anything you would probably find in regular National news probably shouldn't be on hacker news.

I want to get a break from the regular newscycle when going here.
I guess the challenge is that the parameters have to encode much more intricacy than just the Bible. Even if one were produced purely with text from the bible, it would likely not be able to converse as well as conversationally tuned ones behave.
Perhaps there's a middle ground of a fine-tuned LLM on scripture recall + o1-style background reasoning to produce the best output. Or even just a RAG.
> OpenAI's engineers: brilliant, A+, A* even.

Then why do they look about average to Anthropic, Mistral, DeepSeek, and many others of that cohort despite having x100 the amount of resources?
Genuinely curious if anyone has ideas how an LLM provider could moat AI.

Patents. OpenAI already has a head start in the game of filing patents with obvious (to everybody except USPTO examiners), hard-to-avoid claims. E.g.: https://patents.google.com/patent/US12008341B2
I'm not trolling, I just don't think you've really thought about what "authentic" could mean if you don't have identity, which is a distinct problem.

For Alice there's no difference between a Bob whose identity you don't know and an Eric whose identity you don't know, they're each just another anonymous party.

Eric can't fool Alice and Bob into believing they're talking to each other, because they're using separate channels and identity systems will bind to the channel. Suppose Bob provides his identity, that's bound to the Eric-Bob channel, when Eric copies it to the Eric-Alice channel it's just obviously fraudulent, he could have made his own fraudulent claim of Bob's identity just as easily.
Mostly inherit them. However it is an open qusetion on if he handled them well. Would some other policy (that you get to think of in retospect and of course handwave away any bad parts that might happen with them) have done better?
Rejecting electoralism and demanding or organizing toward an alternative is not nihilism. Insisting that anything but electoralism is nihilism, might be.
To be fair, for the last few years of my career as a developer and ops worker I had a boss who was convinced that Let's Encrypt certs were inferior for "reasons".

It's pretty trivial to generate a long list of technologies which are deemed "better" only because they are built by a large commercial enterprise.
I've only used rechargeable AA/AAA batteries for a decade.

Not having to buy new ones is very convenient.
Three ideas. All tried, none worked yet.

First, get government regulation on your side. OpenAI has already looked for this, including Sam Altman testifying to Congress about the dangers of AI, but didn't get the regulations that they wanted.

Second, put the cost of competing out of reach. Build a large enough and good enough model that nobody else can afford to build a competitor. Unfortunately a few big competitors keep on spending similar sums. And much cheaper sums are good enough for many purposes.

Third, get a new idea that isn't public. For instance one on how to better handle complex goal directed behavior. OpenAI has been trying, but have failed to come up with the right bright idea.
Most places seem to have just outlawed them.
